The parade in Bay View, which is set for July 11-13, doesn't have enough money to operate .

"Funding for this has been a struggle," said Patty Thompson, a volunteer working on coordinating sponsorship. "We have not had a lot of community participation. We've had a lot of interest, but have not seen the money follow that,"

Thompson said the all-volunteer organization has only raised $4,000 and needs $15,000 to put on the parade and outdoor event.

Last year, the Bay View Lions' Club raised $30,000 which covered the parade and the permits.

Thompson said this year's goal would only cover the permits.

The South Shore Frolics Parade did not take place in 2012 due to a shortage of funding.

There's a conference call today that could determine whether the parade will take place.
